Hello,

My name is Amy Good and I am a Program Coordinator for Priority Nutrition Care Distance Dietetic Internship. I am writing to inform you that we were recently notified of our full accreditation for 120 interns. Previously we had held Candidate for Accreditation status for 36 interns. 

This wonderful news means that we will have two classes annually (Spring and Fall matching), with 60 Interns enrolling per match period. This change is going into effect for this current Spring match period. We will be increasing the number of Intern positions in the current match period from 36 to 60.

Because we received this news after the match deadlines, and because our Interns are required to identify their preceptors in advance and need more time, we will be participating in the second round matching to fill these additional positions. There are application instructions on our website, www.PNCDDI.com.


I would appreciate it if you would pass this information on to anyone who may be interested. If you have any questions please do not reply to this email, rather email Internship@PriorityNutritionCare.com.

Sincerely,

Amy Good

Thank you to those who have signed up to volunteer! We still have open slots if anyone else would like to participate to gain some community hours. In addition to helping with nutrition education, we still need banana suit mascots and help distributing evaluation surveys. There will be leads at each table, so sign up even if you don't have much tabling experience - we'll be working together as a team.
